Furthermore, the notice stated that, “We have been notified that Roland Beainy is currently detained by ICE and his green card has been revoked. He is no longer recognized as a leaseholder or authorized representative of Trump Burger Kemah LLC.”
In an interview with the Record on Monday, July 7, Patterson said Beainy was in ICE custody for approximately seven weeks and that he was recently released on bond.
Green Card Trouble
The Record has also obtained a letter from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to a woman in East Bernard who claimed to be the wife of Roland Beainy. The letter, dated Jan. 29, notified the woman that USCIS intends to revoke approval for the I-130 form, Petition for Alien Relative, that she filed in 2021 so that Beainy could keep his green card.
The letter said USCIS conducted an investigation into the marriage and found, among other things, that, “No lease documents or other evidence show that you and Roland Beainy ever actually lived together during your marriage.”
Records from U.S. Immigration Court show that Beainy has a immigration hearing scheduled for Nov. 18 in Houston. The Record reached out to Beainy for comment on his immigration status and the pending lawsuits. He directed us to the attorney representing him in the Kemah lawsuit, Geoffrey Binney. Binney declined to comment at this time.
Patterson Responds
A spokesperson for Patterson put out a statement concerning the Kemah lawsuit on Monday saying, “Contrary to the narrative being pushed, there was no hostile or illegal takeover. This was a lease enforcement action, initiated after numerous concerns arose regarding compliance with the terms agreed upon by both parties. The property owner took steps only after repeated efforts to resolve the situation amicably were either ignored or unsuccessful.”
“At the time of possession, the landlord was within their contractual and legal rights to act to protect the property and their investment,” the statement went on to say. “The restaurant continues to operate under separate management and branding while legal proceedings take their course.
“We recognize the public interest in this matter due to the restaurant’s political theme,” the spokesperson continued. “However, this is not about politics. It’s about honoring contracts and protecting property rights.”
Patterson has since leased the Kemah property to another tenant, who has renamed it “MAGA Burger.”
That’s probably a good idea, because lawyers for President Trump’s private business, the Trump Organization, sent Trump Burger of Bellville a cease and desist letter on Feb. 3.
The Trump Brand
The letter stated “... we were surprised to learn that you have been flagrantly infringing upon the Trump Organization’s valuable and well-established intellectual property right by operating at least three restaurants under the Trump name and brand.”
The letter included a reference to the Trump Burger location in Flatonia.
“... this use risks misleading the public into falsely believing that your business is affiliated with the Trump Organization or endorsed by our clients,” the letter went on to say.
The letter demanded that the business stop using the Trump name, brand and trademarks and to remove all references to the Trump name in all websites, social media, marketing and communication materials. It also demanded a “full accounting of all revenues generated directly or indirectly from your unlawful use of the Trump name, brand or trademark.”
The letter concluded by saying the Trump organization would pursue legal action if no action was taken.
The Record reached out to the Trump Organization this week to see if they ever came to any agreement with Trump Burger. They have not responded.
We also reached out to the White House for comment, given President Trump’s strong stance on immigration.
“The Trump Administration is committed to enforcing our federal immigration laws.” said Abigail Jackson, a White House spokeswoman.
The Janho Lawsuit
Those aren’t the only legal troubles facing Beainy.
A man named Beshara Janho sued Beainy last November in Harris County. In that lawsuit, Janho said he and Beainy were business partners in Lebanon since 2018. Janho says they began discussions to start a business in the U.S. in 2021, and in November of that year, they opened a company named BR Concepts in Texas.
Janho claims Beainy assured him they would share the business equally. On Jan. 17, 2022, Janho says he transferred more than $50,000 of his personal funds to a bank account for BR Concepts. Based on this investment, Janho said he was able to obtain an L-1 visa to the United States. Janho said he then arrived in the U.S. and began managing day-to-day affairs of Patti’s Diner, a restaurant owned by BR Concepts. Janho said he and Beainy later acquired two Empire Pizza locations.
In August 2023, Janho said Beainy wanted to buy out his share of the business, but Janho declined Beainy’s offer. In February 2024, Janho said Beainy informed him that he found a new business partner and Janho would have to leave the company. Janho said he subsequently discovered that Beainy “fraudulently obtained control of BR Concepts and other business entities without Plaintiff’s knowledge.”
Furthermore, Janho alleges that Beainy set up BR Concepts under his sole ownership despite what he represented to Janho and his immigration attorney “The Defendant (Beainy) refused to provide the required documents needed to extend the Plaintiff’s (Janho’s) visa which has now expired,” the lawsuit states.
Janho seeks monetary relief between $200,000 and $1 million. That case is pending.
